Day 13 ~ Joplin, Missouri

We wake in Sapulpa, Oklahoma and decide to pack up and go... 6:40 am and we are off! The plan is to drive to St Louis, Missouri today.

We make it to Missouri, and stop for breakfast at a local Cracker Barrel. We know we are close to the devastation of the Joplin tornado. We talk to some residents who tell us that we can drive thru the area. They want people to remember them. To know they still need help. The site of this city is hard to take in... They so need our prayers.

Trauma Counseling and PRAYER.






Like a war zone.



Joplin High School with new missing letters... HOPE



The hospital... will be torn down.









Pray for the people of Joplin. The death toll is at 153 persons. From these pictures, we are thinking that God was watching out for this city, the devastation so vast and wide, it is a miracle that so many lives were spared.

  2. That must have been unbelievably sad seeing the destruction up close. So much more real than news footage on the tv. Thanks for showing us a first hand view of it.
